Official Winamp 5.0 Modern Skin Colour Themes Thread

[will]

This thread has two purposes:

1. You can download additional Color Themes for the Winamp Modern Skin.
2. You can post your own Color Themes for Modern Skin.

How to do it:
Step 1) Get Winamp 5
Step 2) Make your colourthemes using the Winamp Color Editor.
Step 3) Post them in this thread. I want the XML in [php][/php] tags, and an attached image of your theme in action.
Step 4) Goto 2.


1. Downloading Winamp Color Editor Installer
There is a new installer with additional Color Themes for Winamp Modern Skin.
Installer is a distribution of Color Themes You have created and shared with us in this thread. You can download it directly using below link:

Winamp Color Themes Installer [v4.1, September 2020]

Installation process is very easy and intuitive. Installer contains also Color Themes for Modern Skin and Winamp Color Editor. You can find more informations here.

After having finished you should start Winamp with Modern Skin as active skin. If Winamp is already running hit F5 if Modern Skin is active otherwise select Modern Skin as your active skin.
You can access the new Color Themes in the same list as the default ones are implemented.
Have fun with them and check this thread for new Themes from time to time.

2. Posting own Color Themes

In order to create Color Themes you should download Winamp Color Editor and start to edit / create themes with it (color themes installer now contains Color Editor (v2.2.1)).
Do not forget to click 'Save Themes' when you close Winamp or refresh the skin.
To submit your themes click the 'Export' button and post the new theme(s)code as quote/php in this thread.

If you like you can also add some sample images.

[skinme!]

I'll try if you tell me the colour range white to black in value and what grey and boost do.

from +4096 to -4096 in an RGB style.
grey="1" makes the images in that group grayscale before applying the colour change.
Boost blends with 50% white.

[skinme!]

Lol, any particular reason why 4096 to 4096 -- I didn't know computers could show such a range

4096 = 2^12, or 12 bytes. I have no idea of the significance of that either.

A good tool, especially if these are your first themes, is the RGB-Gamma converter by rpeterclark. get it at his site (http://www/rpeterclark.com)

hmmm...i think this might b the only time that i WANT to make a colour theme. ive just seen the new interface of winamp5 and i really like it. the last screenie i saw of it was a piece of shit compared to this one.

iPlayTheSpoons: I love it More like that please!!

[skinme!]

Could you explain the -4096 to 4096 to me a bit more? Is this value what is to be added to the current colour to get what you want (i.e. the difference) or is it something else? I'm getting mixed results. Some of my colours are coming right but others aren't.

Its a bit of a dark art actually.

This referance is as good as i can do: http://www.skin-zone.net/canada/wasa...terface_colors

Try installing it fresh, other people arn't having problems. Try posting full details elsewhere if that doesn't work.
